Privacy Tools member Kobbi Nissim has been awarded the TCC Test of Time Award (2018) for his paper, "Evaluating 2-DNF Formulas on Ciphertexts."
The TCC Test of Time Award recognizes outstanding papers, published in TCC at least eight years ago, making a significant contribution to the theory of cryptography, preferably with influence also in other area of cryptography, theory, and beyond. The inaugural TCC Test of Time Award was given in TCC 2015 for papers published no later than TCC 2007.
The paper was published by TCC in 2005, and focused on introducing compact two-operation homomorphic encryption and developing new bilinear map techniques that led to major improvements in the design of cryptographic schemes.
